Tales 'N' Trails Research Library:
We have an extensive library of books, periodicals, pamphlets, photographs, posters and other items available for research and study - including an extensive library on boot making from the John Glaze Collection. We even are compiling old records to form a map of where all the old Nocona businesses were located!
Nocona History Tour / Montague Virtual Tours:
The Nocona Chamber of Commerce has produced a driving tour of the historic homes and businesses of Nocona. A souvenir picture book of the tour is available for sale in the Museum gift shop. In addition, periodically throughout the year the Montague County Historical Commission sponsors a bus tour or a talking tombstone tour of a cemetery, highlighting areas of historic interest across the county.
There also are two separate Virtual Tours for the County - one sponsored by TNT on the Museum grounds, and one sponsored by the Montague County Historical Commission at various points of interest in the County. Download the Otocast app and enjoy the tours!
